ai will take over the content but never the art form of music itself, simply because 'the art form' is to be taken literally, ie embedded in the physical body (suggested reading: Schopenhauer on the world as will vs conceptualisation, music as the most direct aesthetic manifestation of will)

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

The Catholic Church must have a very difficult relationship with the City of Bristol to build this post-brutalist monster in that neighborhood ..then again it's very practical, parking space beneath and all

Summer holidays is the time to reconnect with my fantasy biz empires - first of all ofc PLACEBEAU, the radically organic skin care line - SAPIO, the centerfold magazine for the modern intertextual - a savory tart place chain called LE QUICHE QUI RIT - the FLAT TAKES book on Critical Phenomenology

What if the way out really is spend very much less time looking at screens

Very slowly realising (sic!) fiction and reality are not a binary but a continuum Musing on company time.. alas, towards the ontological status of advertising then!

A little, 6-minute primer on totalitarianism:

Can't stop won't stop going down that Critical Phenomenology rabbit hole

The most radical way to complete my side project of a critical phenomenology of content would be to not even trying to bring it into any publishable form (man, i'm so radical 😤 ) Only more radical would be to stop even thinking about it ("mental content"), not quite there yet tho

This is worth your time.

To understand the complexity of cells, circuits, or nanosystems, we need to comprehend the profound connections between information and the second law of thermodynamics. Here's a great review of the problem(s) by ‪‪@jmrparrondo.bsky.social‬ and co-workers sites.lsa.umich.edu/horowitz-lab...

Much, if not most, of the content (surface/sense configurations) we consider outrageous doesn't *really matter, and chances are it only exists to trigger us in the first place. Don't let it live rent-free in our heads and distract us from the structural dynamics beneath which actually do matter.
